Some time ago, I saw a photograph of page size, entitled Village of Joyous Mermaid in an illustrated magazine published in Germany. It pictured a well proportioned powerful mermaid and it was remarked what a difficult work they are doing in fighting against nature. This picture impressed us very deeply, because it destroyed the prejudice which Europeans once had against Japanese women. They generally thought that Japanese women are dolls like little Qeisha girls, and what this episode relates is that there is no reason for Europeans to think all Japanese women are such by judging from these women, diving into the water with half naked. If we try to idealize things in excess by forgetting the reality, it will produce other bad result. I believe, it is important to engage in the produc¬ tion of motion pictures by confirming to the realities, with right understanding, and with correct view-point. 32
